[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham *** Official Match Thread ***

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

No Gilmour in the starting 11? Boo.

 

[Mike Small]

No Velts.

I hope their left side are sh1t.

Great to Lallana!

Willian!!! I'd go as far to say their only really dangerous player who could conjure something independently. Would be absolutely suited for Joel!

Love RDZ but we have no midweek game and this team play better with Veltman and Gilmour in the team.

 

[doogie004]

How many changes again

 

[pb21]

No Veltman

 

[Mike Small]

If we keep a clean sheet we win. I'd be happy with 0-0 at half time as other teams tire V us second half. Come on Albion!

 

[Brok]

I predict a landslide victory with that team.

And as today is the longest day of the year, more time to celebrate.

 

[Greenbag50]

I guess at this time in his career, AL can determine his own fitness levels. 60 mins I reckon.
Hopefully Dahood can do better than he did when he came on Thursday.
Fergie vs Ream….. let’s see

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Odd selection. But what do I know?

Lallana will be up front or in the hole in my view

I'll be amazed if its 3 at the back. If you've got a fit solly and tariq its worth considering, but the manager has never done it and I don't see him starting now

 

[GT49er]

Apart from recoiling in horror at the way the BBC have lined up that squad (Dahoud at RB, Webster at LB ffs!) I also look at it and think no Veltman, no Gilmour, no JPVH, no Fati, oh dear!

So let's hope we win 5-0 then!

 

[Billy in Bristol]

No Veltman always makes me feel anxious.

 

[Weststander]

Willian!!! I'd go as far to say their only really dangerous player who could conjure something independently. Would be absolutely suited for Joel!

Love RDZ but we have no midweek game and this team play better with Veltman and Gilmour in the team.

Did Veltman have 2.5 weeks rest before Ajax, in terms of not starting?

 

[kelvinnewman]

Spose one option is Gross LB and Webster right back, Webster getting forward like Pervis does but Gross inverting?

 

[BN41Albion]

How many changes again

seems unnecessary to me - relatively straightforward win on Thurs and no game next midweek... what do I know though...

 

[Bodian]

I guess the changes are as much about everyone getting gametime / match-fitness as they are about actually 'resting' as such.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

It's Igor at Lb, gross at Rb isn't it? Gross will be romping forward cruyffing all over the shop and causing merry havoc. Lallana will pull the strings behind Ferguson.

It's not that difficult to work out who's playin where. RDZ has developed a love of changing the team but he doesn't go as far as Potter and change the team AND formation.

I'm hoping Dahoud can impress me today. He's looked tidy but lightweight to me so far.

 

[swindonseagull]

It’s gonna be a wet one…. ( in my soggy trousers)

 

[Brok]

It’s gonna be a wet one…. ( in my soggy trousers)

I know the feeling, it must be our age

 

[Littlemo]

The Veltman thing is weird. I get RDZ bringing in other players to give them game time so that’s one thing, but there are no other RB options bar Veltman and he shouldn’t need a rest, so why does he keep getting dropped?

 

[Krafty]

A rainbow has appeared in Sussex again, last time it was on Thursday and we won - will history repeat?

 

[Mike Small]

Did Veltman had 2.5 weeks rest before Ajax, in terms of not starting?

Yep. I think Joel can handle this game with a week's rest ahead of him too.
